FARMERS’ RELIEF

Sin-During the present session of the Legislature a great deal of discussion is being aroused regard- ing the Old Age Pension. If this form of relief for the aged mn- terinlizes it will no doubt be of n. great benefit to those old peo- ple who, in most cases are de- pendent on their families. It is indeed a most worthy project but at the present time does it con- stitute the major relief problem in P. m. 1.1-

In answer one need only consid- er the condition of the average farmer of this province. Most ev- eryone knows and will admit that the lot of the farmer during the mcent years of depression has been anythlngbut an easy one. Our town neighbors may be seep- tlcnl of this statement. They may argue that we can produce our own foodstuffs and arc consequent- ly more fortunate than they.
